Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
In this Advancing RNA Live segment, several speakers raise concerns about the industry's ability to accurately measure impurities, particularly dsRNA, arguing that current analytics are insufficient, especially for high-dose therapeutics.
While the speed of production and flexibility of mRNA are appealing, several industry challenges must still be addressed to realize the full potential and further expand its use.
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss two experts' perspectives on the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
